MIAMI SHOOTING

KING’S REGRET. MESSAGE TO MR ROOSEVELT. ABHORENCE OF OUTRAGE. CONGRATULATIONS ON ESCAPE. Unitea Press A ssnElec ■ Tel. c ° pyr i 8 ’ ht ' NEW YORK, Feb. 16. King George expressed his regret at the attempt on the life of the Presi-dent-Elect and his Joy at Mr Roosevelt’s escape In a message received by Mr Roosevelt at Jacksonville, Florida, on his way to New \ork. Tho message was sent through the British Minister In Washington, Mr F. D’A. Osborne. It read: “I have received the King’s command to express to you His Majesty’s abhorrence of the outrageous attempt on your life, and congratulations on your escape. I beg you to accept at the same time my own congratulations." While Mr Roosevelt apparently is so profoundly moved by the orltlcal condition of Mr Cermak and Mrs Gill that he seems almost wholly to have overlooked his own narrow escape, or the constantly dangerous position he occupies, the nation at large Is strongly agitated, not alone over the attempted assassination, but over the continuous imminent peril In which the Chief Executive stands.
